April 2508 HMS Article

We were so pleased to have Marie Alessi visit the Men’s Shed and share her journey about losing her husband Rob in 2018. Grief and loss can be a life-changing experience, and as part of our primary focus on Men’s Health, Marie’s sensitive understanding into ways to successfully Love Life after Loss, whether it be a loved one, a position in life, or a dream that may no longer be achieved, was invaluable.

Some keys she shared were:

HMS to the Rescue

A little story this month, about a little Oriental-style side table, a family heirloom that had suffered water damage. Mark Bray, a new member of your Men’s Shed, brought the table along for a friend. It was in a very sorry state, with the intricately wrought table sections coming apart, the supports broken or missing and water staining throughout.

Men’s Shed Twenty-Twenty

The recent and ongoing bushfires in our beautiful country have been a sobering reminder of ‘her beauty and her terror’, visited upon people, homes, stock and wildlife. The response across Australia helping all those affected has been so wonderful. With our native animals in crisis the Shed has possum, bird and microbat nesting boxes available to anyone interested in helping out in this way.

This Year at Your Men’s Shed

Whether it’s greeting a new member from Coalcliff, Engadine, Grays Point or the Burgh, or working at a bench with an old mate, the Men’s Shed will have lots to offer in 2020 for men aged from 18 up.

Lots of Men’s Health initiatives, giving us insights into skin checks, preventing injuries, cardiovascular disease, mental disorders, backpain, substance abuse and prostate cancer.

Your Helensburgh Men’s Shed celebrated our first Open Day with a sausage sizzle, cakes, drinks, tours of the Shed and great conversations with members of the 2508 community. Lee Evans, his lovely wife Gail and Mayor Gordon Bradbery popped in for a looksee as well.

The Shed has been quite busy with the Open Day, the CWA’s Festival of Flight and the Lion’s Country Fair, and it has been very rewarding to join with and assist Helensburgh and Stanwell Park organisations in this way.

The Men's Shed movement is all about improving men’s wellbeing by doing something useful together. Helensburgh Men’s Shed recently sent two blokes to the Australian Men’s Shed Association Gathering at Adelaide to help us continue doing this well. This is one advantage among many of belonging to AMSA. Highlights included hearing that the Irish (400 sheds) and Icelanders (3 sheds) are very grateful to model their sheds on Aussie ones.
